Sure, it's not on the author, but if an author's interest is to target those readers in any way then it is within the author's concern. Again, if it's just pure fun and readership doesn't matter at all, then authors should 1) feel free to ignore any readers who aren't going to like their fic regardless, so you don't need to white knight the author, or 2) not put their fic up in public places where people have a right to voice their opinions on it.
